Here I estimate that forests in Utah are currently accumulating atmospheric carbon in biomass, detritus, and soil largely in response to 150 years of domestic livestock grazing, altered fre regimes, and logging. I attribute forest-carbon accumulation, which removes carbon dioxide  from  the atmosphere, to expanding piñon and juniper woodlands and to timberlands regrowing following historical logging. Despite the accumulation of carbon in Utah’s forests, this forest-carbon sink compensates for at most 25 percent of statewide greenhouse gas emissions and more  likely between 10 percent to 15 percent. This article emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary study of the global carbon cycle and specifcally encourages environmental historians to help natural scientists explore how historical  land  uses  exert long-lasting  infuence on  the  atmosphere’s  concentrations of greenhouse gases.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></work-type><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></accession-num><call-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></call-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></notes><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom1><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom4><custom5><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom5><custom6><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom6><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom7><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></research-notes><num-vols><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></num-vols><orig-pub><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></orig-pub><reprint-edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></reprint-edition><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></auth-address><remote-database-name><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></remote-database-name><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></remote-database-provider><label><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></label><access-date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></access-date></record></records></xml>
